decimation: can you find the rom device? might be able to make it puke through serial port
asciilifeform: no analogue on this board
decimation: and that alsa line is interesting - I wonder if that is to drive the audio on the hdmi port or if there is actual analog audio
decimation: I wonder if that kernel boot line is some kind of device map? maybe allocating the gpu mem?
asciilifeform: decimation: can't say that i have
decimation: seems like 'dot' is the defacto standard
asciilifeform: and almost cheap enough to drop from airplane.
asciilifeform: this thing is probably the most cpu per gram of whole machine, at least in my collection
decimation: interesting, would be useful as a 'internet of things' device
decimation: probably less than a few hundred ma then
asciilifeform: (while receiving power from the jack)
asciilifeform: there is an additional trick needed to get the usb chipset into host mode
decimation: the intresting question is - are the the hardware doodads supported in vanilla kernel
asciilifeform: supposing it can be turned off
decimation: might as well turn off framebuffer, can't spare 60meg
decimation: mali kinda became famous with the wondering muslimtude
asciilifeform: and what little space there is, is occupied by crud
asciilifeform: incidentally, is anyone else perplexed by the 'mali' gpu? recall mircea_popescu's piece were he picks it as the archetypical pissant country, not even interestingly infamous the way, e.g., zimbabwe or north kr are
decimation: asciilifeform: there's probably no hope of resurrecting the original distro source?
decimation: actually it's quite impressive they have stuffed this much capability into humble stick
asciilifeform: (the soc that runs the thing)
asciilifeform: it belongs to the gpu in the 'rockchip'
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: if you've the time, hash and deedbot your blocks
asciilifeform: 'ipp' appears to be yet another graphicsism
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: iirc this is correct
asciilifeform: nobody seems to know
asciilifeform: as for what the fuck 'ipp buf' is, and why it eats 16 precious MB, science is silent !
asciilifeform: 24M for the fb proper, but another 60 (!) for accelerator, something called 'ion'
asciilifeform: oh l0l, the 256M turns into 150 on account of the framebuffer
asciilifeform: ^ to be clear, that is the stock (manufacturer's) fw
danielpbarron: figured that out in trying to host the damn file
danielpbarron: welp i'm retarded; file permissions was the problem
asciilifeform: that ain't a 150 die on the pcb - no such animal
asciilifeform: presently wondering whether the '256M' of ram was a lie, and if so, how the thing ended up with 150
asciilifeform: no part of any of this is in any way astonishing.
asciilifeform: rs232 but ttl voltage
decimation: it's weird how divergence seems to happen in blk0009.dat - deserves further investigation with block dumper
asciilifeform: so use a reasonably young iron tip
asciilifeform: each is around the size of a printed full stop
decimation: lol must have missed that
asciilifeform: decimation: i mentioned earlier, in logs, they are under the sticker
asciilifeform: can be the ml
asciilifeform: plz upload just one then
asciilifeform: nothing worked in the sense that it crashed every time ?
danielpbarron: i tried a bunch, nothing worked
asciilifeform: as in, something i could gdb through

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-07-2015#1208270 << pretty plz post the input that brought about its death ?? ☝︎
asciilifeform: (i.e. there is not a 74xxxx containing six of'em)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-07-2015#1208265 << afaik they were never once sold as discrete items ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 21-07-2015 02:39:11; decimation: asciilifeform: what is the sha256sum of your blk0009.dat?
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-07-2015#1207730 << i copied a few blk files over to my gentoo laptop and tried blkcut and it just failed instantly so I figured I did something wrong ☝︎☟︎
assbot: U.S. GAO - Defense Satellite Communications: DOD Needs Additional Information to Improve Procurements ... ( http://bit.ly/1VnmJTe )
decimation: http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-15-459 < " In fiscal year 2011, the most recent information available, DOD spent over $1 billion leasing commercial SATCOM. "
decimation: asciilifeform: what is the sha256sum of your blk0009.dat? ☟︎
trinque: yeah, there were complaints, mistakes were made, those responsible were sacked
trinque: oh, no that's the wrong syntax
trinque: clearly there is
asciilifeform: and for some more lulz. tried to find some material re: 'non-outsourceable puzzles', vaguely recalled that it was an idea whereby mining pool is made impossible on account of any participant being able to undetectably claim the entire reward for himself. then learned that there is no such field, properly speaking, as 'non-outsourceable puzzles', and that it was a crackpot creation of miller (the one featured in http://trilema.
assbot: Why the Z-80's data pins are scrambled ... ( http://bit.ly/1RLj5U3 )
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2013 17:13:53; asciilifeform: the clockless ARM (pretty braindamaged idea, to take a classical cpu and make it clockless, but anyway) had to be designed ad hoc, avoiding industry-standard toolchains.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-12-2013#429461 << old threadz, for n00bz ☝︎
asciilifeform sits and thinks, wondering whether anyone has produced clockless (muller gate) miner ☟︎
scoopbot_revived: Prepare to be insanely, incredibly, very very jealous with envy! http://trilema.com/2015/prepare-to-be-insanely-incredibly-very-very-jealous-with-envy/
trinque: alright, that sob checks his underwear via cron and restarts if need be
asciilifeform: esp. funny considering that they portscan planet 24/7 and try to -addnode to everybody who answers
asciilifeform: i oughta knock on their door and tell'em
asciilifeform notices that all of his nodes carry precisely the same tx, but then again they are all peering one another...
asciilifeform wonders if anyone has carried out any serious public work whatsoever re: mempool tx propagation ☟︎
trinque: long term fix is ripping out the golang thing and replacing it, meanwhile... bash hairball
trinque: tired of this thing going offline
trinque: couple more of those and I'll stop
mircea_popescu: for that matter, spinoza was a lens polisher by trade. his profession wasn't "philosopher". that was his hobby.
asciilifeform: much of history of physical science (arguably the 'good times') were squarely in the 'secret society' days
mircea_popescu: profession specifically means, "dominative of the public discourse on the topic"
mircea_popescu: like a wife and a whore : both sore in the cunt, yet not the same deal.
asciilifeform: not so sure about this
asciilifeform: and none lift derps off the street and 'teach' them
asciilifeform: (and the folks i work with - are very much not 'etsy artefactual expert' types)
mircea_popescu: i yield the balance of my time, to the future programmers.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i took this as far as i care to. gotta admit it's a fine if unpleasant argument
mircea_popescu: sorry to tell you, crypts do not cunt in this discussion.
mircea_popescu: where is the place ? do i go to microsoft and learn how programming's done fo real by pros ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't going towards a meta-programmersclub thing is it ?
mircea_popescu: used to be easy rider and waitress, fiddy years ago
asciilifeform begs to differ
mircea_popescu: that's what we're trying to do here, the somewhere. imo not done yet.
mircea_popescu: but there ARENT actual doctors somewhere.
mircea_popescu: and at the current point, "programmer" is EXACTLY like "etsy artefactual expert"
asciilifeform: not when there are actual doctors somewhere.
asciilifeform: witch doctor in the congo does not define medicine.
mircea_popescu: on the basis of... glass ?
mircea_popescu: you think venetian glassblowing is defined by what they actually did, or by all the glass they could have conceivably blown
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is what defines the profession.
asciilifeform: software as it exists now is largely the result of precisely this kind of process.
BingoBoingo: Lock kids in a room, let out once two have switched kidneys
mircea_popescu: and it appears to make sense yes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only substituteable profession is camwhore.
asciilifeform: e.g., 'lock the kidz in a room and let'em out once some of them compose a passable symphony'
asciilifeform: e.g., 'lock the kidz in a room and let'em out once some of them build a plane'
